the sixth best song on her masterful album art angels but still a solid 8/10. maybe 9.
― nomar, Thursday, 21 January 2016 19:06 (eight years ago) link
I still liked "Kill V. Maim" more than anything I heard off of her first album

16 SUSANNE SUNDFØR "Fade Away" (406 points, 10 votes, 2 first-place votes)
i think im down with this, liking the analog synth thing going on, weird knife/1989 blank space taylor swift/eurythmics vibe which on the face of it makes no sense at all and i know that but hey i just gotta be meeeeeee. ha i swear the keyboard sound is take straight from "i want to break free" by queen which is 1000% ok by me. and hooray for understanding that just over 3 minutes is the perfect length. 9/10

lolololol i shit you not i spent all year hearing this on the local pop station and was convinced it was Ed Sheeran doing a guitar free singles track. not kidding. amused enough to give it 5/10

7 Kendrick Lamar - Alright
I really have no excuse for not voting for way way more Kendrick on my ballot other than that most of my listening these days is w/the kid and so this song was one of those "skip so we dont learn the wrong words" moments. 9/10

my fading interest in Rihanna continues. not terrible, i like shes found and used that scratch in her voice more and more but not much else about this. 5/10

11 GRIMES "Flesh Without Blood" (542 points, 19 votes, 1 first-place vote)
less objectionable than i generally expect but still she just seems incomprehensible to me as anything that people get behind hardcore, the weird key shift on the "i dont care anymore" is interesting until it becomes annoying. she still sounds like something they would play during the end credits of a final fantasy game to me every time i hear her mixed with fake nostalgia for imaginary synthpop or something. 5/10

6 Demi Lovato - Cool for the Summer
Things I know about Demi Lovato. 1. She did that confident song which I loathe. 2. This would be a pretty good instrumental. 3. There are worse singers I suppose. 4. too many syllables in a line doesnt sound interesting, it sounds stupid. 5. I blame Nicolas Winding-Refn for a lot of bad pop this year i think. 4/10

my sole contribution here is that i think three uk rap songs made it into the top 77 and i could not tell you what is remotely interesting about any of them

5 Carly Rae Jepsen - Run Away With Me
maybe i should just stop doing the top ten and realize between this and a bunch of other stuff im totally out of step abt whatever people are hearing in this that is notable. 5/10

there's a lot of stuff in this list that's perfectly nice and inoffensive. kind of wish there were more tracks that blew my hair back.

51 Eric Prydz - "Opus (Four Tet Remix)"
i think i would like to hear this? i'm always vaguely disappointed with four tet remixes but remixing Eric Prydz sounds like a nutso "tex wasabi's"-esque flavor explosion.

4 Miguel - Coffee
It's a pretty gorgeous song and does the backwards looking synthpop better than 90% of the other stuff ive heard from the list so far. great singer obv. i can get behind it. 8/10

If I was going to redo my ballot, I would put more Kendrick on it, because I honestly got more enjoyment out of songs on that album as songs than I did any other album I listened to this year except for Marriages.
